Original plans for this nation was going to be an island nation in Southeast Asia that is basically Singapore on steroids, but because I listened to this song too much, I ended up with a name that doesn't fit a Southeast Asian nation. However, I decided to try and relieve this issue by sort of shaping my nation around the name, making it a more Balkan nation, like the one you see in my lore right now, which I think helps quite a bit with making the name that suits the canon.

I'm in the same position. I really wanted to name my nation Red Lake, but because that name was already taken, I just added "circle" onto the end. Now I'm really wishing I'd just buckled down and named my nation Laguzrauth...

a while ago i had a puppet where the alternate history was "what if gorbachev succeeded". of course "union of sovereign soviet republics" was taken, so i went with "union of sovereign states and republics".

still not a bad name, honestly.

Aikoland is called that because 'Aiko' was part of my old online username from when I was like 13 to 16 years old lol. (I made that nation when I was 15 btw)

Unfortunately that means the very much Francophone nation it is now has the whole 'kind of Japanese-sounding name' to it which eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh.

There is a world out there where I managed to get the name "Valentine" instead of adding a Z behind.

Though of course, since it was created in 2015, it bears mentioning that the Z isn't tied in any way to the Ukraine-Russian affairs; just part of my name.

And no relations to zombies, either. Valentine Z, no zombies like World War Z.

I like the former better, has a bit more ring to it, y'know?

IRL I used both Zee and Zed interchangeably, much to the confusion of people. :P

Or, in my case, having to rename a nation due to someone already having claimed it, but the second half still counts.

I mean I'm pretty sure every single language outside of American English pronounces it 'zed' (or at least uses a pronunciation based upon the Greek 'zeta').

At least we can agree that either zee or zed is better than fuckin izzard.

Holy shit this, or rather like. Redesigning your nation and all the lore, wanting to change the name of your nation but not doing so because then no one on the forum would recognise you. I'm stuck with Soviet Progonya which I do like a lot, I just wish it didn't have "Soviet" in it because that's a relic from its long gone ussr clone days.
